"etc" means a number of things. It is an acronym for several different words. (An acronym is a word formed from the initial letters or groups of letters of words in a set phrase or series of words, OPEC from Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries.
The most common is, et cetera which is Latin for "and so forth".
It also stands for:
Estimated Time of Completion, Educational Technology, European Topic Centre, Earth Terminal Complex,
Estimated Total Cost, European Travel Commission, Education To Careers, Employee Transportation Coordinator, Engineering Technical Code, etc.

It's an abbreviation of the Latin phrase 'et cetera', which means 'and the rest'.
